Want extraordinary outcomes without demanding extraordinary treatment.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Wanting a great deal from your work and wanting to be handled as though you are special are separate appetites, though they often travel together. Nothing about a high standard requires other people to defer to you, wait on you, or absorb your moods. The people who actually build remarkable things are frequently unremarkable to deal with, which is part of why others keep working with them.

Separate the two in your own head by asking what you want from the outcome and what you want from the room. Keep the first as large as you like. Keep the second ordinary, and notice how much easier it becomes to get help.
